Perhaps the coolest Christmas morning ever!

After the kids went to bed Christmas Eve John and I set to the task of setting up a HUGE (10 ft x 14 ft) tent in our living room. We moved furniture, but it still took up the whole room. We even put one of the couches back inside the tent. We then set up all the wrapped camping supplies inside the tent and zipped up the door. We put gates up so the kids would naturally come to our room in the morning and not go into the living room. We had them open their stockings with us in our room. One of the gifts inside were headlamp flashlights. We had them put them on and go down the hall to explore. And there they found the giant tent! They were so excited. Can't wait to take them camping when it gets warm!

There is a video down on the blog a bit of them seeing it for the first time. Check it out!
